Activity Hub Evaluation Protocol
Evaluation Protocol for Open Streets Activity Hubs
The protocol for the activity hub will be a combination of observation, secondary data analysis, and follow-up call on perception of success. The hubs may differ based on sponsor organization and related activities, but the basis of the evaluation will be the same. The three grant-sponsored hubs per event will be evaluated by students hired to conduct overall Open Streets observations and surveys. The following sheet will be used to record information.
Describe any tracking or material distribution at hub.
a. Will the organization record participant information? If yes, how?
b. Does the organization distribute flyers or other promotional materials? (if yes, will there be a before-after count of number distributed?)
c. Are there any other unique data collection aspects at the hub? If yes, please describe.
